If you’ve been around my blog long enough, you may remember that the government has announced last year that they would be raising the marraige license fee to $200 (currently it is $100). We were able to petition and stop them from doing so. Unfortunately, plans were just announced that the rate would indeed increase and as of MARCH 1ST, 2012, the rate will be $200 for any license filed after that date. So please, please, please get your paperwork mailed in so we can file it before this date. Email me if you need the paperwork.

You’ll want to send the paperwork USPS Express Mail – the flat rate envelope fee for this should be $18.95. The added price of postage will be worth saving the additional $100 fee!

But you don’t have to spend a dime to give your fiance a really beautiful gift. I just found this love letter online…a… Continue Reading

I discovered Isola Bella at a little shop in Red Hook, St. Thomas called Home Again probably a year or two ago. I loved the simplicity of their designs, the clean & modern feel of their products. My first purchase was this throw pillow that lived on my bed (when it was made) for awhile… Continue Reading

Do you write it Harbor or Harbour? I never know and you’ll probably find I use both in my emails, depending on how fancy I feel. Harbour is definitely fancier, don’t you agree? Secret Harbour Beach Resort is our newest location, not only for ceremonies, but for receptions as well. It’s a great location for… Continue Reading

One of my husbands and I favorite restauant in St. Thomas was Jack’s Wings in Tillet Gardens. Before we had kids, we went there at least twice a week to sit at the bar and enjoy everyone’s company. Post kids, we would let the little ones run around the garden and enjoy the fun island… Continue Reading

We have had the most fun last few weeks – lots of weddings and events and some of the best clients. I really love my job and being a part of someones wedding day. Funnily enough, I had a conversation with a Reformed Church minister the other day (the bride & groom had brought him… Continue Reading
